“As President of the Lane County Human Resource Association, I contacted Darby to facilitate our 2008 Planning Meeting. I felt that we desperately needed to focus on our direction and solidify concrete goals for our Board and the future of the chapter. With Darby’s help, we were able to identify who we are as an organization and what our goals and objectives were for the coming years. She was able to take the ideas and goals from our Board and help create a plan that we will use for many years to come. We came away from our planning meeting with a renewed sense of direction and accomplishment.”

"Mark is an objective individual who has the unique ability to motivate a group to concentrate on specific issues while not losing focus on the big picture. Further, he is willing to make the difficult decisions that are in the long-term interest of the organization - even if this means a fundamental shift in how the current organization management views the issue."

“I am pleased to recommend Darby Giannone as a group facilitator, team builder and dispute resolution coach. I have participated in retreats led by Darby involving the Town Club of Eugene Board of Directors and the Board of Directors of our law firm.
As part of her services, Darby reviewed our agenda and listened to our goals and objectives before creating processes and formats to guide group discussion and decision making. During each phase of our lengthy meetings, she facilitated difficult discussions, recorded to-do lists, and maintained public notes so we could easily reference prior discussion. As part of her final report, Darby converted all of the public notes to electronic form and highlighted group decisions, task and responsibility for participating members and her personal recommendations. Darby’s facilitation skills were always directed at trying to achieve a consensus.”

“The Town Club of Eugene began as a private, men's business club in 1950. By 2005, we were no longer a men-only organization but we were certainly showing our age. As the president of the board of directors, with over 400 members of various ages and business levels with numerous options to send their time and give their loyalties, I needed the board and our members to look at themselves differently. Dr. Giannone gave us a fresh perspective on who we were today as well as who we could be tomorrow.
Within the first year of working with Dr. Giannone, we found our mission as an organization, stabilized our membership, set the course for a new future and reenergized our employees, members and board.”
Marvin D. Révoal, Past President
The Town Club of Eugene

"If you are looking for a change agent with solid business acumen and experience plus the ability to make things happen through managing relationships, Mark captures all of this in his approach.
